Technological and Protein Residue Analysis on Ancient Stemmed Projectile Points of the Southern Andes Highlands
(2024)
We present the results of technological and protein residue analyses of the lithic assemblagesrecovered at the Pedernales-38 site (26.5°S; 69°W), located in the highlands of the southernAndes (3380 masl). Based on a ...
Spatial Patterns in Late Holocene Lithic Projectile Point Technology of Tierra del Fuego (Southern South America): Assessing Size and Shape Changes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-03)
This paper focuses on the application of geometric morphometrics to the study of the lithic record in southern South America. We review the regional background, discuss methodological issues, and summarize research advances. ...
Environment, space, and morphological variation of projectile points in Patagonia (Southern South America)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11)
The aim of this work is to assess shape variation in Patagonian stemmed projectile points related to spatial and environmental factors by means of geometric morphometric and multivariate methods. The sample includes 1445 ...
